Inflation surges as currency slips
Uganda's inflation rate climbed to a three-year high of 12.3% in October, per Reuters, driven by a weakening shilling and rising import costs.
The Bank of Uganda responded by raising its main interest rate to 15.5%, Bloomberg reports, in an effort to curb the currency's slide and stabilize prices.
Economic analysts warn that continued depreciation could exacerbate inflationary pressures across the region, with Kampala at the center of policy adjustments.
The central bank has also signaled it will closely monitor supply chain disruptions and global commodity prices, as the country seeks to maintain macroeconomic stability.
